MRIDC Clears Major Hurdles, Mominpura Y-Shaped Flyover Work Picks Up Pace; Target Set for March 2027 Nagpur: After years of delays caused by encroachments, land disputes, and local opposition, the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MRIDC) has accelerated construction of the long-pending Y-shaped Mominpura flyover. The project, which aims to alleviate chronic traffic congestion between Kadbi Chowk and Golibar Chowk, is now targeting completion by March 2027. An MRIDC official confirmed that nearly 70% of the work has been completed, with progress ongoing on multiple fronts. Foundation and substructure work is finalized, and approximately 50% of the superstructure, including girder launching, has been finished. Road concretisation beneath the flyover has also begun. The 2.82-kilometre flyover, initially sanctioned at ₹146 crore, is now expected to cost around ₹185 crore due to delays and additional works. The project will connect Kadbi Chowk, Mominpura, and Santra Market, with one arm extending to Mominpura and the other branching towards Santra Market and linking to Platform No. 8 of Nagpur railway station. The Kadbi Chowk-to-Mominpura arm will feature an 11-metre-wide carriageway, while the Santra Market arm will be 7.5 metres wide. Construction began in July 2021 following the bhoomipujan ceremony, but progress stalled due to encroachments, residents' objections, land acquisition disputes, tree-felling permissions, and the relocation of power cables and water pipelines in the Mominpura area. Officials stated that most of these obstacles have been resolved, enabling faster execution. The original deadline of December 2025 was repeatedly pushed back, first to the end of 2026 and then revised to March 2027.#nagpur #kadbi_chowk #mominpura #mridc #santra_market
